christie, governor christie, said. when you look at a brand new nbc poll, likely voters overwhelmingly say they approve of the president's handling of hurricane sandy. 67% approve. only 16% di disapprove. on top of that, in this brand new poll, majority of americans believe the economy is already turning around. 52% say we are recovering. both of these poll numbers are bad news for the republicans when they only have two days go t. to go. >> that right. very bad news. you heard mitt romney, about six weeks ago, releasing talking points from their campaign. and their thinking was by this date the obama economy would reassert itself in a negative way, but so far you haven't seen that. you have seen robust poll numberes. it is not even necessarily unemployment rates. ticked up to 171,000 jobs created. people look at how many bags of groceries they can buy at piggly wiggly. they look at gas prices. look at whether or not their neighbor is employed. in ohio you see 12% unemployment rate four years ago. 7% now. that's why yo

jindal goes on to heap praise on christie. jindal was one of the prominent republican attackers of mitt romney after mitt romney's big loss. and a ppp poll done this month in new hampshire finds chris christie leads the pack for his party's nomination in 2013. he has 20%. condoleezza rice at 13%. jeb bush, 11. paul ryan, 10%. joining me now is jonathan capehart. welcome to what i believe may be our very first 2016 republican presidential sweepstakes segment. we've seen some grumbling and saw some at the time, who were grumbling about chris christie and his partnership with president obama in dealing with the disaster in new jersey as a result of hurricane sandy. but you don't hear it now and the interesting thing is i didn't hear anyone of prominence quoted by name in criticizing christie that way. plenty of people including jindal, happy to criticize mitt romney by name. >> well, sure, after the election and remember when bobby jindal criticized mitt romney, it was after mitt romney had said something like really, really dumb

politico dropped an intrigues piece, exclusive christie. christie was mitt's first choice for vp. the mitt's first voice for vp. it shows a chris christie who felt jilted after being led to believe he would be selected as the vp before being ditched. the implication is his dark motive is that romney hurt his feelings. with michael steele, chair of the republican national committee. both are msnbc political analysts. gene, i don't know. i find one part of this thing puzzling. why would romney' people be putting out the word two days before an election that the reason governor christi was so helpful with president obama working together with him is he thought he was almost promised a vp job and was hurt by not getting it in favor of paul ryan. why would they put that out? >> it's a dig at christie. it did them a lack of character. showing him as a jilted psycho girlfriend or psycho boyfriend who got left at the altar. and that's why he's running to the arms of the other guy. it's incredible they would do this now against a republican governor who gave a keynote speech. he has a cris
